Chapter 139: The Debut
In the eyes of pseudo-fans, this game may seem very exciting. Brazil's midfield often played exquisite combinations, Ronaldinho played the bulltail from time to time, and Ronaldo also staged a stunning rainbow pass. Carlos showed his speed stunt, and continued to overtake on the wings......
But just don't score.
After Ronaldo got the ball in the penalty area, he didn't think about shooting, but about getting past the defenders of the Chinese team, and then he had to pass it again, and then find a way to get past the goalkeeper; Rivaldo got a one-on-one chance, but instead of shooting with his feet, he picked up a pass with his flower foot to Ze next to him. Robert, who wanted the opponent to stage a volley, was then destroyed by the Chinese team's big foot.
It's not that the Brazilian team doesn't shoot, it's just that they don't shoot when they have good chances, but they deliberately artificially create difficulty, and if they want to score world-class goals, this is more difficult, and the Chinese team's backline and goalkeepers are not vegetarians.
To be pertinent, the performance of the Chinese team is still good, and it is not purely defensive, and sometimes it can play a good counterattack. It's just that the forces invested in the counterattack are not enough to form an effective threat.
The two full-backs, Sun Jiehai and Li Xiaopeng, are not particularly offensive types, and the coordination between Qi Hong and Li Yi is a bit unsatisfactory, but Zhao Junzhe has a long-range shot with great quality, but it is only slightly off the post.
Ricardo almost covered his mouth and yawned on the bench. Boring game. His only hope is to be able to play with Ronaldo. However, Pereira has not been interested in making substitutions.
The commentator Huang Jiaxiang was also embarrassed, and tried to describe the game scene in euphemistic language. "The attack of the Chinese team! Hit the side to find Li Xiaopeng, Li Xiaopeng waited for a while, did not wait for his teammates to answer, had to get up and cross, Li Yi did not grab the landing point, and the Brazilian team controlled the ball. The Chinese team also needs to play a little more patiently, need more cooperation, such a simple attack, can not penetrate the Brazilian team's defense. ”
"Brazil attacked, Ronaldo took the ball past Li Ti and passed to Ronaldo, who went to the wing, and Robert. Carlos assists up, a Marseille slurry! Robert. Carlos also played a fancy move, passing to Ronaldo with his feet, Ronaldo didn't shoot, and with his flower feet passing to Rivaldo, Rivaldo shot from a small angle! The ball was saved. ”
"Brazil played very relaxed, played well with fluidity, but they couldn't score. It can be seen that the Brazilian team did not have a strong desire to win today, and many of the balls that could be fought for were not spelled, of course, they may have considered saving strength for the club's game. ”
'Today's game so far has not been exciting, both sides had some chances but they didn't take them. Brazil had a little bit more chances, but they played too relaxed and didn't take advantage of a couple of chances. ”
Until the end of the first half, the score between the two sides was still 0:0. Players from both sides walked into the tunnel amicably.
Sun Jiehai's hair was wet on his forehead, his face was a little unsightly, he caught up with Li Cardo and asked in a low voice: "Do your players look down on us, I feel that they don't play seriously." ”
Ricardo thought for a moment and said: "It's not that I look down on it, it's just that now their respective club competitions are also at a critical juncture, and at this time they have to avoid injury. ”
Sun Jiehai's lips moved, as if he cursed, Li Cardo did not hear clearly, and did not intend to pursue it.
Back in the dressing room, the atmosphere in Brazil was still relaxed, and Pereira didn't dwell too much on the tactical side, just a few words and let the players rest on their own.
At the start of the second half, the managers of both sides made substitutions one after another. After all, this is a friendly match, winning or losing is not the goal, the meaning of the game is to look at the state of the players.
On Brazil's side, Ronaldo was the first to be substituted, and when he left the field, the 80,000 fans in the stadium gave him a long-lasting applause. He also smiled and showed a pair of rabbit teeth, waving to the fans as he walked slowly off the field.
He was replaced by Adriano, a little beast that brought great pressure to the Chinese team as soon as he came on the field, and he wanted to impress Pereira for the first time when he entered the national team, so he did his best.
Followed by Rivaldo, Ze. Robert was also replaced by Amoruso and Denilson, and the Brazilian team played 442.
In the 55th minute of the game, Gilberto and Kleberson were also replaced by Real Madrid's defender Flavio. Conceição and Roma's main defender Emerson replaced, and on the back line, Júnior, Roque. Júnior and Juan also went into battle successively, and Giulio . Cesar, Ronaldo's rival, also replaced Dida.
Brazil, who have undergone a large number of substitutions, are still playing unhurriedly, with the rest of the players not showing enthusiasm except for Adriano and Denilson.
Although they are substitutes in Brazil, they are still the main core in their respective clubs, and protecting themselves from injuries and saving their energy for the next round of the league is what they really care about.
Licardo's heart is getting more and more anxious, looking at this posture, it seems that it is difficult for him to get a chance to play?
The Chinese team on the opposite side also made a large number of substitution adjustments, but there is a significant gap between the level of substitutes and the main force, and it is only by relying on tenacious struggle that they have been trying to keep the goal intact.
In the 65th minute, Pereira suddenly looked back at Ricardo, smiled and said, "You go to warm up." ”
As if he had a spring on his buttocks, Ricardo jumped up as soon as he flicked it, and quickly went to the sidelines to warm up.
After a while, Pereira asked the assistant coach to submit a substitution request, then reached out and called Ricardo and said lightly: "You replace Ronaldinho, play as a midfielder, and let Denilson go to the wing." I remember you did a good job of organising the midfield and linking me up in midfield. ”
Li Cardo nodded repeatedly: "Okay boss." ”
At this point, he was already excited and couldn't wait to make his international debut.
Pereira patted him on the shoulder, smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, don't get too excited, be careful not to get hurt." If you can score, you can score, but don't force it. ”
Licardo could no longer hear what he was saying. Finding that Ricardo was about to play, the fans at the scene were in a commotion, and the sound was wave after wave, and Ricardo's eardrums were filled with these sounds, and he couldn't concentrate a little.
He took a deep breath and tried his best to calm himself down, waiting for the chance of a dead ball.
Ronaldo stepped forward with his coat on at this time, stood next to Ricardo, and grinned: "It's a record, are you happy?" ”
Ricardo laughed: "The existence of records is for people to break, what is there to be excited about." ”
"Kick well," Ronaldo touched Ricardo's head, "don't think too much, what you did in training, do it now." ”
"Don't worry, I'm not nervous."
